why didn't toyota give the prado a more powerful engine? how can it compete with pajero's, patrol's and trooper's much powerful engines?

Medyo nagtaka nga ako kung bakit 131 hp lang yung engine ng Prado. Naisip ko na baka may iba itong features na wala sa iba. Meron nga ba...? P2.4 M ito diba...? :D

carryover kasi yung turbodiesel engine nung prado (it's the same engine as on the previous prado). i'm guessing toyota will be releasing a new turbodiesel after some time (the current one doesn't have direct injection and other features); looks like the engineering team focused on the gas engine (the 4.0L V6), maybe because gasoline-happy america is the prado's largest market

MBT,

peace out

there are no prado's in the US what you have are its brothers. the new 4runner and the Lexus GX470. they have the same chassis, suspension. the difference is the engine, and the interior grades. the GX and the prado have the same body only the front end is different.

pwede bang magcarryover yun 3.6 V6 namin from old prado to a new one if we buy one?

i meant the "Prados in the US" -- the Lexus GX and the 4Runner (actually, just the 4Runner since the GX doesn't carry the V6) :D hehe

New local Prado engine upgraded to electronic injection, which means more efficient and slightly higher hp and torque. On a weight to hp ratio, the Prado wins over Patrol.
